Windows Movie Maker question at DVinfo.net

Please forgive this lil stupid question. I'm trying to edit a basic video with this MS program that comes with every computer and would like to know if I could add the watermarked website address throughout the whole clip as a reference in the corner of the video. Please, let me know how it's done.

I dont think you can do that on Movie Maker. You can add text but im not sure if you can put it in the bottom corner.

where is the text over video option? I couldn't locate it :(

The text over video option is under titles and credits then "title on selected clip"

Maybe download a trial version of a proper editing software like Sony Vegas or something at least then you can add the web address.

I'm rusty on WMM, but possibly you can use the video overlay track to import a still image of your watermark in a format that retains transparency, like png or tif. That's how we do our watermarks in Final Cut Pro...made the png in Photoshop with position and size to fit the video format and set a 50% transparency....Battle Vaughan/miamiherald.com video team
